While driving through the Provence District in France in May 2012 on a three week vacation we were looking for the lavender fields and happened upon this spectacular hillside village of Gourdes. Tis shot was taken from my iPhone 4s from across a valley looking back at Gourdes. The lavender fields (not yet blooming) are off to the right in the valley. A cathedral and a 5-star Hotel Bastide dominate the hillside. it is one of the most beautiful villages we came across in the south of France.
